Kratos Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 It's the second day now that the xcomufo site is down. I hope that the administrators get it back up soon because the ufo2000 project (as well as the xenocide project) home forums is hosted there. It is probably nothing, but one can never know.

FullAuto Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Snap. I was just about to mention this. Anyone have a clue what's going on? I was just about to start looking for fics on there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kratos Posted September 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 I would like to know also. I was going to plot out some more ideas for my "Fact or Reason" Mod for ufo2000...having quite some information on it and I hope nothing happens to it.

Pete Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Hopefully one of the staff will be able to tell us, assuming Stewart still drops by occasionally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Well, Micah has been gone for a long time, so I hope Stewart has the proper login and so on to get it back up. *crosses fingers* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blehm 98 Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 I don't think micah paid his bills i forgot the message, but it went something like:*the gateway was not accessed as the IP you were searching for cannot be foundand some other message. if you want to see it, go to xenocide main page try to follow a link, you get that message this isn't cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Hmm... neither are loading for me right now... How long has it been since anyone over there saw Micah? They're both pointing to the same domain nameservers, so I can only assume they are hosted on the same account. Unfortunately I can't even find out who the DNS servers belong to (which hosting company) to make an enquiry as to what the deal is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kratos Posted September 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 IIRC, Micah hasn't been active since 1 - 3 months? I wonder if I have enough bandwidth to support ufo2000 and xenocide on my site as a forum? (www.ufo2k.com) I don't know how to create forums though.

Pete Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 You'd need to install some forum software for that... I'm thinking it would be an idea to try and track down the web hosts though. If it's a case of an unpaid bill, maybe we can do something about that to get it up long enough to redirect people to another location - such as some forums you might be able to set up? I'll do a bit more scouting about... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azrael Strife Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 We are sorry, everyone, there has been a problem with the server, Mindstormmaster is currently working on it, he says it will be up again on Monday, I'll let you know if the situation changes.

Kratos Posted September 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Glad to hear its not a billing problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azrael Strife Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 XComUFO Forums are not monthly paid, AFAIK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kratos Posted September 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Yeah, for a project like xenocide (and various other websites) I would think it would be paid yearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azrael Strife Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 I don't think we do pay yearly either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Can't be free, surely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azrael Strife Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Nevermind, it's paid yearly The server was attacked, probably from a lamer, and has crashed, mindstormmaster is reinstalling it and will put it back online on monday, hopefully, as far as we know there hasn't been any loss of information.

Blehm 98 Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 I wonder if its those guys a while back who said we should be taken off the internet because we are a shame to be on the internet.... hmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Eh? Who said that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azrael Strife Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Some guys started complaining about our Project, they seemed not to like it, one of them posted their chat log on our forums to show us, that was of little importance and I don't think we have more reason to suspect them than to suspect anyone else, could have been a random thing.

Pete Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Aye - most people like that are just full of hot air. You guys are doing a grand job - keep it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matri Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 I'd just beef up the security and ignore these guys. Most of the loons just like finding fault just for the heck of it. ... Like my dad, unfortunately... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
